For months now we've been contemplating who should play bondage-loving sex god Christian Grey in the Fifty Shades flick. (We even made a wish list of actors, you know, in case Hollywood wanted our two cents on the matter.)

But it looks like someone we couldn't have even predicted is the new frontrunner for the role—and he's kinda perfect. According to various entertainment outlets, 23-year-old mega hottie Alex Pettyfer just did a screen test for the part, acting out the scene where Ana loses her virginity with a for-now-unnamed actress.

Alex is currently shooting a remake of the classic film Endless Love with director Gus Van Sant (of Good Will Hunting fame) and the two put together a steamy Fifty Shades audition tape of sorts to (hopefully) lock them into the movie.

All we know is this: Alex clearly has the bod (and the moves, as we saw in Magic Mike) and he's just enough off the radar to where we can totally imagine him as Christian without thinking about all the other parts he's played. Also, have you seen his face? Uh, hello.

But, we gotta ask you: Do you think Alex would make an amazing Christian, or is there someone else you'd prefer to see in the role?
